  • $850k Zoustar Filly Rocks Oaklands

    Weekend, 2nd March 2026
    Late-afternoon theatre at Inglis’ Oaklands delivered a defining moment for a southern breeder when a Zoustar-Nudge filly lit up the Premier Yearling Sale, selling for a day-topping $850,000. In a marketplace that opened with confidence and closed with every key metric comfortably ahead of last year’s corresponding session, it was the athletic bay offered by Two Bays Farm that stole the show. Bred by Two Bays in partnership with Elizabeth and Rick Treweeke, the filly drew sustained interest throughout the week before a heavyweight buying bench combined to secure her. Chris Waller, Guy Mulcaster, Mathew Becker and Ozzie Kheir joined forces, underlining the regard in which she was held from the outset of inspections to the final bid. For Ross Ferris, the result represented uncharted territory. “I’ve never had this experience before, people shoving microphones in front of my face from all angles, it’s quite unbelievable,’’ he said, still absorbing the scenes that followed the fall of the hammer. “It’s the highest priced horse we’ve ever sold, we’re just over the moon.You dream about this. It’s not even just about the final number, it’s about doing something really well and it being recognised by the industry and the buying cohort as well.’’ Ferris was quick to deflect credit, noting the depth of competition that propelled the price. “The accolades need to go to the bidders and underbidders, we’re so thankful they were so strong. I think the filly had more than 250 inspections during the week, she was just flat out and took it all in her stride.’’ He also praised Inglis, adding: “Congratulations to Inglis, the sale is getting better every year. We’re happy to make this our home as a vendor, we like to support this sale, it’s our local sale, it really suits our farm, we’re very much on the southern tip of Australia and it gives our horses a bit more time to put their best foot forward.’’ Becker, bidding as part of the successful syndicate, said temperament ultimately set her apart. “We saw her very early on in the week and went back and saw her every day and she’s not turned a hair, she’s done a lot of parades and been a very busy filly and in our eyes, the filly of the sale. We’re thrilled to be able to bring her home,’’ he said. He revealed the partnership was deliberate. “We identified her and thought ‘there’s no better judge of a Zoustar filly than Guy and Chris’ so we reached out to them to see if they wanted to do something and they loved her as much as we did.’’ With Waller having trained her dam, Becker described the pedigree as “a great cross, Zoustar over Fastnet Rock mares, the right mix,” adding that physically she “wouldn’t have been out of place at Easter with the best fillies.”

  • Inglis Premier Metrics Up Over 2025

    Weekend, 2nd March 2026
    Earlier fireworks at Oaklands ensured the opening day carried depth beyond its headline act, with a Ghaiyyath-Dom Perion colt realising $520,000 to finish as the second-top lot. Offered by Stonehouse Thoroughbreds on behalf of Andrew and Bek McDonald, the colt is a half-brother to Group 1-winning Inglis graduate Extra Brut and attracted strong competition before being secured by Lindsay Park in partnership with Dean Hawthorne Bloodstock. Behind the price lay a story that resonated well beyond the ring. The McDonalds, small-scale breeders based in Shepparton with only a handful of mares, bought Dom Perion for $6,000 at the Great Southern Sale in foal to Domesday, a mating that produced Extra Brut and set in motion what Stonehouse’s Ryan Arnel described as a roller coaster. “These are the horses you dream about. They’re exciting and nerve racking at the same time,’’ Arnel said. “These are the dreams we all work toward. Andrew and Bek, they’re small breeders with only a couple of mares, in Shepparton, and here they are at the big dance and they’re emotional, very emotional.’’ He reflected on the journey from that modest purchase to the Oaklands auditorium. “They bought the mare for $6,000 at Great Southern in foal to Domesday – which turned out to be Extra Brut – so it’s just been an absolute roller coaster for them. It’s one of the best results we could hope for. Arguably some of the best trainers in Victoria were on him, this is why we do it.’’ For Lindsay Park’s Ben Hayes, the appeal was both on paper and in the flesh. “We loved him, obviously. We had to put in a couple more bids than we wanted but we really wanted him,’’ Hayes said. “The page is nice, Extra Brut was super but we also just really liked him as a type, as an athlete so it’s really exciting.’’ Temperament again featured prominently in the assessment. “He just did everything right all week, we watched him through the whole process, he’s quiet, his temperament is great, we’re stoked.’’ By day’s end, the broader figures underscored the buoyancy of trade. The average settled at $157,590, the median at $130,000 and the gross reached $30,730,000, all comfortably ahead of last year’s corresponding session. Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch described it as the strongest edition yet of the popular opening day. “That was the best renewal yet of ‘Sunday Funday’ at Oaklands,’’ Hutch said, pointing to packed auditoriums, crowded lawns and spirited bidding as evidence of a sale that continues to build in stature, even in a marketplace where the margin for error remains tight.

  • Tempted Could Emulate Melito's TJ Smith Feat

    Weekend, 2nd March 2026
    A glittering autumn target now looms after Tempted stamped herself as a fully fledged Group 1 performer at Royal Randwick, prevailing in a stirring edition of the 2026 Surround Stakes. The Street Boss filly, prepared by Ciaron Maher for Godolphin, justified cramped odds with a performance that blended resolve and raw ability, adding a coveted elite success to a résumé that already demanded respect. Back in the spring she had finished runner-up in The Everest, and her return this preparation against the colts in the Eskimo Prince Stakes only heightened anticipation. Sent out an odds-on favourite for the $750,000 Surround Stakes over 1400m, she was stepping back into her own sex but conceding nothing in expectation. What unfolded was no procession. Settled just off the speed by Chad Schofield, she travelled sweetly without being lit up in a race run at genuine tempo. Savvy Hallie, trained by Brad Widdup, set a searching standard in front and refused to fold when challenged, turning the straight into a duel that had the grandstand holding its breath. Tempted edged alongside, was headed, then surged again to claim victory by a bob of the head in a photo finish that reflected the bravery of both fillies. "Quality, you know, she's got so much of it," Maher said post-race. "I'm just thrilled to be able to train for Godolphin, her record speaks for itself, so to be able to tick off a Group 1 for her is very, very special." He admitted to moments of anxiety at the furlong pole. "I was actually thinking, 'come on, you can get a little bit more desperate' halfway down the straight. But, 1400m is probably right at the top of her distance range, as we've seen, she's ran second and now won at Group 1 level." Schofield felt the pressure early and resisted the temptation to move too soon. "I didn't want to engage early and sort of switch her on and get her over-travelling, so I very much just left her alone and rode her to get the trip," he said. "She had to dig deeper. She's a very good horse. We kept finding, but we had to because that second filly was tremendously brave." With the Surround secured, attention naturally pivots to the $3 million TJ Smith Stakes over 1200m on April 4. Maher suggested she may be even sharper back at six furlongs, noting that Group 1s are everything for fillies of her calibre, particularly within a powerhouse broodmare band. Whether she lines up as planned will be settled with the team, but her current quote of $4.60 suggests the market already believes she belongs among the nation's best sprinters.

  • Scone Race Club Baton Passed to Arrowfield Stud

    Weekend, 2nd March 2026
    A new era will dawn in the Upper Hunter when one of the nation's most influential breeding operations steps into the spotlight of its premier country carnival. From 2026, the $200,000 Listed Scone Cup will carry the Arrowfield Stud name, formalising a deepening alliance between the Scone Race Club and a nursery synonymous with Australian thoroughbred excellence. The race will be rebranded as the Arrowfield Scone Cup, a move that further entwines two cornerstones of the region's racing identity. Arrowfield's expanded commitment builds on an existing relationship that already encompasses naming rights to the Group 3 Arrowfield Dark Jewel Classic, the feature event on the Carnival's second day. Together, those races anchor a May showcase that draws leading trainers, owners and breeders to what is proudly known as the Horse Capital of Australia. Timing has amplified the significance of the announcement. The Club has recently embarked on a landmark three-year agreement with Magic Millions as its Exclusive Thoroughbred Auction House Partner, a collaboration underscored by the creation of the Magic Millions Mounting Yard at Scone Racecourse. In combination, these partnerships point to a recalibrated future for the two-day Carnival and an ambition to consolidate its standing on the national calendar. Chief Executive Officer Jason Hill believes the alignment with Arrowfield reflects that broader vision. "To welcome Arrowfield as Naming Rights Partner of the Scone Cup is both a natural fit and an exciting progression for the Carnival," he said. "Combined with our new Magic Millions partnership, it signals a powerful new era for the Scone Racing Carnival and its place on the national racing calendar." For Arrowfield, the arrangement is framed as more than a commercial exercise. General Manager Paul Messara described it as a genuine collaboration grounded in shared community values and industry leadership. "Scone occupies a unique and significant position within the Australian thoroughbred industry as the recognised Horse Capital of Australia," he said. "We are proud to align ourselves with an organisation that sits at the heart of both our community and our industry, and we see real opportunity to further enhance the profile and vitality of racing in Scone." The transition also closes a notable chapter. Since 2017, Darley has held the Scone Cup naming rights, a nine-year tenure that spanned growth and adversity. Hill paid tribute to that support, particularly through the uncertainty of COVID, saying the global operation had been more than a sponsor and had shared the Club's long-term vision. Godolphin and Darley Australia Managing Director Andy Makiv reflected on that period with similar warmth. "We've valued the nine years as Naming Rights Partner of the Scone Cup and the strong partnership we've built with the Club," he said. "We're proud of the role Darley has played during that time and of the way the Carnival has continued to grow." He confirmed Darley would remain an active sponsor and participant, with Godolphin horses continuing to feature each May. When the 2026 Carnival arrives, the Arrowfield Scone Cup and the Arrowfield Dark Jewel Classic will headline a programme designed to reinforce Scone's reputation as one of Australia's leading country racing destinations.

  • Observer as Smooth as His Headline Pedigree Optics

    Weekend, 2nd March 2026
    History was matched at Flemington on Saturday when Observer confirmed his status as one of the season's headline acts, stretching his unbeaten run to four with a commanding victory in the Australian Guineas. As revealed by racing.com, the colt's second Group 1 success placed him alongside King's High as the only horses to have completed the Victoria Derby, C.S. Hayes Stakes and Australian Guineas treble, a sequence that underscores both stamina and class. For Ciaron Maher, the triumph carried echoes of 2023, when now Arrowfield Stud stallion Hitotsu completed the Derby–Guineas double under his care. Observer has long drawn comparisons with that stable star, and the latest performance did little to temper that view. As National assistant trainer Jack Turnbull put it, "He's probably not as dynamic, but his ability to be winning a Derby and coming back to be a Group 1 mile Guineas winner at his next preparation is hard to do. You don't often see it. It's a credit to the horse, and to Godolphin as an organisation.'' The result now leaves the stable and ownership group with enviable options. Godolphin managing director Andy Makiv indicated the $2 million Australian Cup (2000m) in three weeks was already under consideration, suggesting a "flashier version'' of Observer could emerge once he steps to 2000 metres. Targeting Flemington on March 28 would also allow fellow 'Blue Army' bluebloods Attica and Green Spaces to press on toward the Rosehill Guineas on March 21 without overlapping programs. Turnbull said the team would take time to absorb the significance of the Guineas before committing to a path, with the Australian Cup, Rosehill Guineas and even a freshen for the Doncaster Mile all viable. Whatever direction is chosen, the next decision shapes as one of the autumn's pivotal calls. Saturday's race itself demanded composure. Trapped on the fence behind the leaders as the $1.85 favourite, Observer required a patient steer from Ethan Brown before angling clear to defeat the fast-finishing Planet Red by half a length, with Sixties a short head away in third. Brown acknowledged the optics were testing. "I'm sure the punters were thinking 'what's going on here'. The main thing with him is getting him to relax and settle and that meant having to go down to the fence and riding a cool, patient race on him.'' With another elite win secured, the colt has already etched his name into the record books. Crucially, being a son of formidable stallion Ghaiyyath, and out of a Lonhro half-sister to champion Pierro, Observer has the potential to become a highly commercial young sire of note for Darley in due course.

  • Prodigal Son Celebrates Winning WFA Return

    Weekend, 2nd March 2026
    A return to familiar ground has already begun to bear fruit in Otago, and on Saturday at Wingatui it yielded a breakthrough that carried both relief and validation, reports loveracing.co.nz. In the Gr3 White Robe Lodge Weight For Age (1600m), Cluedo Lane surged to a decisive victory that handed Joseph Waldron his biggest success since resettling in New Zealand after more than six years abroad. Having come back from an Australian stint midway through 2025, Waldron re-established himself in his home region at the start of the current season. Working with a boutique team, he had prepared four winners before this weekend, but the feature presented mixed emotions when stablemate Brave Spirit was withdrawn. That late change opened the door for Cluedo Lane to step into the final field, a scenario that would prove fortuitous. From the outset, rider Akshay Balloo ensured the six-year-old son of Ghibellines was prominent. Easing into a comfortable rhythm outside pacemaker Tumuch, Cluedo Lane travelled strongly before taking control approaching the 600m. Balloo asked for an effort rounding the home turn and the response was immediate, the gelding bounding clear to establish a commanding break. Though the margin narrowed over the final 100m, he had done enough to hold Sir Albert and Matscot at bay by a length. Waldron admitted the day had unfolded in unexpected fashion. "It was meant to be I suppose, although it was a shame about Brave Spirit, but he will be back again," he said. The opportunity, he felt, had arrived at precisely the right time. "It was a great opportunity for this horse and he took it. He has always shown he had good ability and before we got him he was only just nabbed by Spot On Time in the TAB Mile (1400m) trial, which is well and truly good enough form for here." The trainer was quick to acknowledge owner Michael Stokes for entrusting the gelding to his developing stable. "A big thanks to Michael Stokes who sent him our way as for a little stable like ours that is just getting going, having a horse like him is a huge thrill." He also reserved praise for Balloo, describing him as "incredibly underrated" and well suited to horses that roll forward. Balloo, for his part, sensed the race was within reach once he angled off heels at the right moment. "He is a tough horse," he said. "I was a little bit worried when I couldn't get to the front but I saw my chance and pulled him out at the right time, then I knew he was going to be hard to catch."

  • Autumn's Glow Burns Brighter Than Ever

    Weekend, 2nd March 2026
    Perfection was preserved at Randwick on Saturday when Autumn Glow stretched her unbeaten sequence to 10 with another authoritative display in the Gr1 Verry Elleegant Stakes (1600m). The 4YO daughter of The Autumn Sun, already a dual elite-level winner, again made quality opposition appear ordinary as she surged clear to cement her standing among the nation's very best. Sent out a dominant favourite following her first-up triumph in the Gr2 Apollo Stakes, she was expected to face a searching test, yet the challenge never truly materialised. Rolling forward to sit on speed, she travelled sweetly before asserting over her stablemate Aeliana, her acceleration decisive even on ground that was not considered ideal. The performance lifted her earnings beyond $7.5 million and underscored the remarkable consistency that has become her hallmark. Trainer Chris Waller, no stranger to managing champions, remains in awe of her professionalism. "She just does everything right, it's as simple as that. It doesn't matter where she draws, she's up on speed, she just puts herself there." He noted that, unlike some high-class gallopers who get back and leave connections anxious, this mare controls her own destiny near the pace. "A different type of horse to some of those good horses I've trained when they get back and they have your heart in your mouth, but I still have my heart in my mouth. But, yeah, she's up on the speed. She puts herself there, so that's the difference." Plans for the autumn remain fluid but ambitious. "George Ryder," Waller confirmed as the immediate target. "I'd love to try her at 2000m, but she's got to be dominant in her next win to give us that ultimate satisfaction that she can run the 2000, otherwise it's probably the Doncaster." He added that weight and barrier variables make the Doncaster a more complex assignment, though nothing has been ruled out. Jockey James McDonald, increasingly synonymous with her success, believes her aura is as potent as her stride. "Her demeanour, her presence, she knows she's so good," he said. "She just breathes so well and is so push-button. She's got an incredible turn of foot." Even without reproducing her explosive first-up effort, he felt victory was inevitable. Her rise has been a triumph for the sale ring as well as the racetrack. A $600,000 Magic Millions Gold Coast National Weanling Sale purchase by Silverdale Farm and Shrone Bloodstock, she later commanded $1.8 million at the Easter Yearling Sale when secured by Arrowfield Stud and Hermitage Thoroughbreds. Bred by Newhaven Park, she is the second Group 1winner from Via Africa, the South African Champion Sprinter of 2013-14, and a three-quarter sister to Gr1 Golden Rose winner In The Congo.

  • Fresh Victoria Oaks Runner Claims $1M Inglis Sprint

    Weekend, 2nd March 2026
    A daring first-up tilt down the Flemington straight paid handsome dividends on Saturday when Getta Good Feeling returned from a spring campaign over ground to claim the $1 million Inglis Sprint in emphatic style. Prepared by Danny O'Brien, the 3YO filly had not been seen since contesting the Gr1 VRC Oaks over 2500m in November, making her explosive 1200m performance all the more striking. Rather than following the traditional path of easing an Oaks runner back through longer races, O'Brien opted for speed and timing. The decision was shaped by instinct as much as planning. "My first boss was Bart [Cummings] and he used to do it all the time, coming back from the spring he'd often win with them first up down the straight so I guess it's fair to say I had premonitions of him when I saw this race and it fitted in really well for us,'' O'Brien said. The Phoenix Broodmare Farm-bred daughter of So You Think justified that faith, surging clear to defeat Nashville Jack and Fundamental Nature with authority. Her ability to absorb pressure at the elite staying level and then return with such sharpness underlined the depth of her class and the benefit of a carefully managed break. O'Brien explained that the autumn blueprint was settled soon after the spring. "We decided after the spring we wouldn't try to get her to Sydney for the Oaks, that maybe she taps out at 2000m so I was able to give her a longer spell and the Inglis race set up perfectly for her and why wouldn't we target it when it's worth $1m.'' With six weeks of focused preparation behind her, confidence grew steadily within the stable. "There was a lot to like about the race and from six weeks ago when we decided to target it, we were definitely trying to go there and win it because it's great money and I had a reasonable amount of confidence that she'd do exactly what she did.'' That confidence was vindicated in decisive fashion. Raced by Pinecliff Racing's Jonathan Munz, the filly was secured for $525,000 by bloodstock agent Dean Hawthorne from Milburn Creek at the Easter Yearling Sale. While his stable star was saluting in Melbourne, O'Brien was at Oaklands inspecting prospects ahead of the Premier Yearling Sale which started on Sunday.

  • Racing Immortal Makybe Diva Passes Away

    Weekend, 2nd March 2026
    A hush fell over Flemington on Saturday as news filtered through that the mighty Makybe Diva, the only horse to win three Melbourne Cups, had died at the age of 27. According to The Age, the champion mare succumbed to a sudden colic attack at owner Tony Santic's property at Gnarwarre, near Geelong, prompting tributes that stretched far beyond racing's inner circle. For Glen Boss, her longtime partner in history, the loss carried a deeply personal note. He revealed he had sensed their final farewell when he patted and cuddled her during last year's spring carnival. "I was privileged to see her only a couple of months ago," Boss said on social media platform X. "She looked so gorgeous. Her eye was clear, her skin was amazing, her feet were really well. But I had a sense at 26-years-old this might be the last time I see her. But what a moment we had." Colic, a gastrointestinal condition that can prove fatal in horses, brought an end to a life that had already secured immortality. Across the lawns and grandstands of Flemington, where she etched her legend in 2003, 2004 and 2005, the sense of melancholy was unmistakable. Trained by David Hall for her first Melbourne Cup before his move to Hong Kong, she captured the next two under Lee Freedman and his brothers, completing a feat unmatched in the race's storied history. Her third triumph remains one of the track's defining images, the mare surging clear down the straight as the crowd rose in disbelief and adoration. In the aftermath, a tearful Santic announced her retirement. On Saturday he reflected on what she meant beyond the trophies. "From the day she came into our lives, she was never just a racehorse, she was family," Santic said. "She gave us moments Australia will never forget, but more than that, she gave us joy every single day. She was loved from the beginning, and she stayed loved for her whole life." Retired racecaller Greg Miles laid flowers at her statue at Flemington, honouring the deeds that inspired his famous 2005 call of "when a champion becomes a legend." Named Australian Champion Racehorse of the Year in 2005 after victories in the Melbourne Cup, Australian Cup, BMW Stakes, Memsie Stakes, Turnbull Stakes and Cox Plate, she entered the Hall of Fame the following year and was retired as a broodmare in 2019.

  • Critical Vote for the US Thoroughbred Industry

    Weekend, 2nd March 2026
    A pivotal decision looms over American racing as the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) edges toward a vote that could reshape medication policy across the sport, reports TDN. Since HISA's inception, Lasix – also known as furosemide – has been prohibited in all 2-year-old races and in stakes company, but on May 22 the nine-member Board of Directors will determine whether the diuretic should be banned in all races. Under the current framework, any shift would not take effect immediately. HISA has indicated there would be an educational period before implementation. When the Authority launched its Anti-Doping and Medication Control Program three years ago, it effectively placed a moratorium on a total ban pending the outcome of scientific studies examining the drug's impact on equine health and competitive integrity. Those studies, according to a HISA spokesperson, have been completed and are under review. "Pursuant to the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act, HISA convened a Furosemide Advisory Committee to commission and oversee independent scientific research on the use of furosemide (Lasix) in horses," the statement read, adding that the Committee will forward its recommendation before the statutory May 22, 2026 deadline. Yet some board members have said they have not seen the data as the vote approaches, fuelling industry unease. A letter circulated this week by Bill Mott, Chad Brown, Mark Casse, Jena Antonucci, Ron Moquett and National HBPA CEO Eric Hamelback questioned the wisdom of eliminating a treatment long used to manage exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage. "The question before the Authority Board is not whether the sport must evolve–it must, it is and will continue to," the letter read. "The question is whether eliminating a treatment that reduces lung bleeding serves the horse or simply satisfies a narrative. Treating pulmonary hemorrhage under veterinary supervision is not doping. It is responsible care." Prominent trainers echoed those concerns. Graham Motion supports the existing restrictions on juveniles and stakes horses but believes daily racing would suffer without Lasix. He argued the present compromise protects the breed while allowing practical management of horses prone to bleeding. Wesley Ward cited the case of Bound for Nowhere, a durable campaigner who earned $1.3 million. "If they didn't have Lasix, he wouldn't have made a dollar," Ward said, insisting the medication "has nothing to do with masking soundness." New York-based Linda Rice fears field sizes – already under pressure – would shrink further if lower-level horses were denied the option. She supports the ban for 2-year-olds yet worries about broader consequences. Todd Pletcher, whose stable competes largely in stakes races where Lasix is barred, nonetheless cautioned that removing it entirely could reduce the horse population and strain smaller operations. Board members have struck a measured tone. Bill Thomason said it was premature to speculate before reviewing the research, while Joe De Francis framed the issue as a balance between therapeutic benefit and the potential for performance enhancement through dehydration. How those scales tip will become clear by May 22.
